Florida Concealed Weapon Permit Demand Up

The demand for Florida concealed weapon permits is up, according to The Department of Agriculture and Consumer Affairs. According to an article on firstcoastnews.com, the Florida legislature has allocated $3.8 million dollars to the Department to help with the build-up in applications. The money will mainly go toward running background checks on the applicants. It will also go toward hiring temporary workers to handle the applications and calls checking on the status.
